Farmer's Market Salad with Shrimp, Asparagus and Avocado Dressing

Yes, I'm going bonkers for springtime produce right now just because it's been too long of a winter. As well, the tender vegetables taste wonderful, especially in this brilliant salad that's quick and easy to make. Enjoy!

*place cleaned aspargus in lightly boiling water that's been infused with salt, and a squirt of lemon. Cook for a minute then transfer to cold water. Remove and drain once cooled.

**if frozen, place shrimp in cool water until thawed about half hour. For faster thawing, use stream of warm water while breaking apart shrimp as it melts. Be careful to drain when shrimp is feels softer but still firm

Place a medium saucepan filled with water along with the lemon juice or lemoncello and salt over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil

Add shrimp. After a couple minutes, watch for shrimp to begin to curl and turn from translucent to whtte. As you see this happening, remove shrimp. Drain. Spray with water to cool shrimp. Remove tails and jackets from shrimp.
